10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Syllables attempt to maximize their onsets (initial consonants).
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables prefer a sonority peak (vowel) surrounded by consonants of decreasing sonority.
• Avoidance of Lone Consonants: Consonants are generally not left as syllable-initial singletons if they can be incorporated into an onset.

The word is a compound, and the syllabification reflects the individual components. There are no significant regional variations in the pronunciation or syllabification of this word.
